    Don’t waste your time. This user has gems like:

    Liberals in America are just right wing anti-communists, they’re not leftists at all. As for Bernie, social-democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and that’s why he supports Biden’s genocide.

    Both parties are evil because this is an evil country that must be stopped.

    But I’m quite serious about hating America. No one should be president and we should do everything possible to make that a reality.

    And told me that Russia is less corrupt and authoritarian than the USA. They ran away from that conversation once facts were laid out.

      Actually I went to work and your post required too much to respond during a bathroom break.

      I’ll get to you this afternoon!

      This is factually true

        The Democratic Party covers a range from supporters of European-style Social Democracy (Sanders, Cortez, etc.) to the moderate center-right. The former is definitely part of the leftist spectrum. They would be at least slightly left of the center in Europe and most definitely are by American standards.

        The fact that there aren’t any noteworthy Communist politicians in the US isn’t all that surprising given that America wasn’t exactly receptive to this ideology for most of its history and that the the whole Marxist Leninist world revolution ended up being a rather embarrassing failure. Arbitrarily claiming that anyone who is anti-communist, which is hardly an unreasonable position, can’t be leftist is just absurd.

          You have just explained Chomsky’s limits on the spectrum of acceptable opinion. Most of these Democrats are fiscally moderate at best and foreign policy aligns quite closely with US interests. Every single one is McCarthy levels of fervently anti-communist.

          When every single senator and Congress member vote to agree on the defense budget, I can’t take you seriously when you speak about the ‘diversity’ of Democrats.
